About this tour
This seven-hour private tour from Palermo pairs Sicilian wine country with ancient Greek ruins. You'll be collected from your hotel in a luxury Mercedes and driven through rolling vineyards to a local winery for tastings and a light lunch, then head to Selinunte's sprawling archaeological park. A local guide steers the day, adjusting pace and focus to suit you and your travelling companion. The combination captures both the region's viticultural present and its classical past.

What to expect
Expect a full day on your feet and in the car. Morning pickup takes you through countryside to the winery, where you'll spend an hour or so learning about local production methods and sampling wines alongside light provisions. The drive to Selinunte takes another hour or so. Once there, your guide leads you through the sprawling archaeological zone—temples, columns, and foundations scattered across open ground with limited shade. The site is vast; you'll walk several kilometres at a moderate pace. Bring sun protection, sturdy shoes, and plenty of water. The final leg returns you to Palermo by early evening.
